On the surface : Peng Chau and Lantau, Hong Kong, China

It was pretty much love at first sight with the colors and textures on Lantau and Peng Chau island. For some reason, the most trivial things seem to take an all different quality there. Rust and cinders looked glorious, plastic took on a pictorial quality and bleached out materials found some new life in surprisingly refined tone-on-tone associations and pairings with bright backgrounds.

More pictures of Lantau and Peng Chau here and there.Hong Kong is surrounded by islands, some tiny like Peng Chau, where there aren’t even cars, and some huge, like Lantau, which is bigger than Hong Kong island itself and is home to an airport, an amusement park and a good chunk of jungle.On the surface is a section that gives a sense of a place through textures and colors.
